Mark Hemmingson completed his bachelor's degree in creative writing at the University of British Columbia in 1989. His main focus was poetry, a way of seeing that continually influences his visual art. He has worked on and off in social work in Vancouver, and has made the leap to a life in the arts. While running an antique store in 1996 he started doing stained glass commissions for residential settings and traditional glass for pubs. He still works off and on in glass and does one or two pubs a year, which are located across Canada and the U.S. In 2004, when Mark and Sheryl moved to Sorrento he began a new journey in pottery, setting up a production studio, and learning his way around it. “What I like about pottery is the rhythm of life that comes through the daily ritual of creating and tending pots. One can never hurry and expect to throw a well balanced vessel.”
